Just finished blind riveting the floor of the rear floor pans (after much cussing and sweating to wrestle them into place). We were about to get into riveting the side and rear flanges with 4-4s (per the plans) when I noticed the front floor pans were riveted to the tunnel with blind rivets.

Is there any reason the rear pan rivets need to be bucked vs pulled?

Thanks.

Jeff

The factory has the real answer, but my answer would be "no". There is little, if any, difference in that application.
